Sem 2 Class Intro and Instructions with Teams Walkthru
how do you get teams to share your monitor screen in a meeting. Mine always picks up the laptop screen by default. I use extension mode when two monitors are connected
25:14 😂
This is not sharing 2 seperate monitors in split screen in Teams. This is something else.
too fast
Seems useful to be implemented. If assignment is applied in the team, would the merged teams be able to do the assignment and where the grades will appear?
I remember this poem my high school teacher taught us. This is the only poem I remember. Thank you for your discussion. It was a good memory.
how does one show the screen being presented (by the presenter) on one screen and the people on another screen. This question applies to when you are not presenting but being presented to
Horses are extremely smooth all over.
I is not actually capitalised in the poem
Yea that helped alot thank you I have test tomorrow
same
I m here cuz i am a student of 9th
And on phone where these option are ther
On mobile
Knowing that Cummings was a Transcendentalist, the latter interpretation makes the most sense to me. I read this poem in my 10th grade English class some 10-12 years ago. Not even the teacher gave an in-depth explanation.
AFTER APPLE-PICKING ANNOTATIONS L. 7. Essence of winter sleep-the environment is full of the intoxicating scent of apples. L. 9. I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight-as the apple-picker begins to drowse away, the familiar and the common begins to assume the dimensions of unfamiliarity and strangeness. He cannot rub or wipe off this film of strangeness from his eyes. L. 11. I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough--the ice which he had collected in the morning from the surface of drinking water in a trough, which is a long narrow vessel for watering animals. L. 12. Hoary grass-grass covered with frost or snow. In his drowsy haze, things appear new, strange and unfamiliar as they had appeared to him when he looked at them through the ice he had collected that morning. L. 20. Fleck of russet- every bit or spot of reddish brown colour on the apples. L. 21. Instep arch-the prominent upper part of the human foot near its junction with the leg. L. 34. Spiked with stubble--pierced or bruised with some stubble, still standing in the field. L. 38. Whatever sleep it is-a touch of mystery is imparted to the entire aura. The apple-picker is not sure whether his sleep is the ordinary sleep of human beings, or the long winter hibernation of creatures of nature like the woodchuck. (B) EXPLANATIONS WITH CRITICAL COMMENTS L1. 1-5 My long....some bough-The dramatic setting and initial commitment in tone is remarkable. “Pre-sleep and sleepy reminiscence of the day, condition all that is said and the speaker's first words show what form his dreamy talk will take.". L. 6. But I am....apple-picking now-The apple-picker is thoroughly tired and bored with apple picking. Fatigue and boredom gas he decides that he will have nothing to do with apple-picking. L. 7. Essence of winter sleep-The entire atmosphere is laden with sleepiness. L. 18. Magnified apples-Though the apple-picker is seeing the apples against the sky with daylight accuracy and clarity, they appear to be magnified and enlarged. For him, they stand out as symbols for great dream like spheres. L. 19. Stem end and blossom end-This repetitious way of describing the apples over and over again helps in blurring the precise details and giving the whole set up a metaphoric dimension. L. 30. There were....to touch- This line instantly brings to mind the line in The Daffodils- 'Ten thousand saw I at a glance.' L. 40-41. The wood chuck......long sleep-This is the closing metaphor of the poem, and as such, it adds to the strangeness of 'winter sleep' by bringing in the non-human death-like sleep of hibernation. L. 42. Or just some human sleep-“The poem is absorbed with states between not only of winter sleep, but of all similar areas where real and unreal appear and disappear. After Apple-Picking illustrates exactly Santayana's remark, that the artist is a person consenting to dream of reality. The consent in this instance is implied in the perfection of the form." EXPLANATIONS WITH REFERENCE TO CONTEXT L. 7-12. Essence of winter....hoary grass-- In these lines there is a very fine and vivid description of the atmosphere in the orchard. This description by the apple-picker gives us the very touch, the very feel of the atmosphere in the orchard. This description is sensuous and becomes alive because the words he chooses are just apt for the description and create an impression of drowsiness. Untermeyer rightly comments that it is a vivid memory of experience that the reader absorbs it physically. I feel it is not a memory of an experience it is much more-in this description the apple-picker is reliving the experience. The smell of the apples is too overpowering for him. He also senses the quaintness of the world as it appears to the exhausted worker. The scent of apples in this poem reminds us of a similar expression "drowsed with the fume of poppies" in Keats's Ode to Autumn. The apple-picker feels himself pervaded with an oppressive feeling of drowsiness. Here again we can trace a similarity between this drowsy sleepiness and the drowsy numbness of Keats' Ode to Autumn. The entire landscape and the atmosphere around him assumes a mysterious halo and is misted by over with a rare quality of strangeness. These qualities transform the scene completely and the apple-picker can neither get rid of quality nor can he comprehend the transformed world. As he unknowingly steps into the realms of this world of sleepiness the narrative of the about the ice skimmed from the trough mingles gradually with the dream the time references of the tenses become fused and confused. Brown comments on the rhythm and images of the poem. "The meaning implied by the self-hypnosis and dreamy confusion on rhythm is finely suggested in the image of the world of 'hoary grass' the morning that anticipates the night vision. This blurring of experience focuses in the central metaphor of the poem, essence of winter sleep. Essence is both the abstract ultimate nature of sleep and the physical smell, the scent of apples a metaphysical image in T.S. Eliot's sense of the term. Fragrance and sleep blend, and sight and touch merge in. “I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight." L1. 37-38. One can....sleep it is--"In these lines tone and rhythm work together beautifully, implying a great deal in relation to Frost's metaphor. The slight elevation of "One can see" recalls the more mysterious seeing of the morning just as the almost banal lyricism of "This sleep of mine" sustains the rhythm of dream-confusion. The rest of second line barely iambic, barely rhyming, casual and rough, assures us that the speaker has at least one toe in reality"
lmao I don't even go to your school but this helps thanks!!
Saaame
Sammmee
lmao smd
Tq dear
This was one of the worst videos I have ever watched
Hi Mr. Tom, your method works but there is an issue that those who joined through link can not send messages in chat box. Please help resolve this issue. Thank you.
That seems like a meeting policy setting. Ask your Teams Administrator to check and see if they is the case. It's under the Meeting Policies tab.
it dosent show up for me :(
Are you working in the app or online? From our experience it is best to work in the app as you have more options available.
Im on the app
Me too
I can't find any option for this
Nice
FINALLY, thank you.
Very Helpful! Thank you
I see that it looks like all of the students in one grade are in one team. Do you not have issues with the chat area?
For the first three weeks or so, and only with the middle kids, they can type fast enough and don’t have phones. It dies after the novelty wears off.
oh thank you so much.
did any of you get huge files that wouldn't load?
Kim Smith my longest recording has been 1.5 hrs with no problems.
Can we add multiple presenters to this
Yes, if you click on the three dots in the participants screen, you can toggle anyone between presenter and attendee.
Thanks
Thank you so much! I needed this!
Thanks! This was so helpful!!
He could also be saying “Jesus: He was a handsome man...”
Good point. Its also interesting to note the contrast between Jesus and Buffalo Bill. This may be purely happenstance, but you could make a comparison between Buffalo Bill, who killed over 4000 buffalo as some kind of reaper of death, AND with Jesus, who fed some 5000 people during the "Feeding the Multitude" as talked about in the Gospels. In any case, its clear by the use of capitalization on both Buffalo Bill, Jesus, and Mister Death, that Cummings is making parallels.
Sir can't we select multiple channels on the time of scheduling meeting
Not at this time. On the calendar in Teams when scheduling, Only 1 Channel is allowed. They have plans for that to change in the future, but as of today, only 1 channel per meeting in the calendar.
Ok thank you sir 👍
Thanks Tom. This is really helpful!
It would be a great idea to record and broadcast the board meeting on youtube.
There is a recording. Let me ask about placing it online. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you. Do you know how to have the meeting appear in every students' calendars?
If you send it as a calendar event, it will show. Also, it shows in the teams calendar for the group you have scheduled it for.
It will show up in the student calendar if you schedule the meeting in their calendar.
But I mean is the poem about him eating plums?...
On the surface, yes. But the beauty of poetry is there is always more to be brought to the surface, and the short, seemingly simplistic poems can hide layers upon layers of meaning and significance.
The way we intepreted it in my classes is this: he is actually talking about sexual satisfaction, so the persona had something with somebody else and is telling their partner but even though the persona is "apologizing" there is this assumption that the persona's satisfaction will also cause satisfaction to the partner and that's why they write about how sweet and delicious they were after apologizing. You can also feel this ambiguity in the reading of Carlos William's of the poem (there is a version on youtube) where he reads the poem laughs (also the public) and repeats it, again causing laughs
This was great. Def going to use this type of explaining with my students
This was absolutely amazing to listen to.
Hi Tom Could you tell me what is the textbook you are using in this video? TIA
It's green and thick and it was about 6 years ago. I'll the and get there name tomorrow.
Bedford St Martin intro to literature.
Tom Covington great! thanks so much Tom :-)
Could you make the video in higher resolution next time? I can bearly read that piece of paper while watching the video.
yeah, considering this was about 7 years ago, the cameras available now have much better resolution. This was an old sony camera, and when I uploaded , it downgraded the resolution. I can maybe do it again, but i think if you have the poem in front of you, you can follow along.
Yeah, my main problem was trying to watch it on my phone between classes.
@@vincentmorrison9975 that's awesome!
